Description

These Butter Buttermilk Biscuits are a classic Southern treat, with flaky layers and a buttery, tender crumb. Perfect for breakfast or as a side to any meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus more for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Incorporate butter: Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add buttermilk: Make a well in the center, pour in the cold buttermilk, and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Shape the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, and fold it for flaky layers.
  6. Cut and bake: Cut out biscuits using a round cutter, place on the baking sheet, brush with buttermilk, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Finish: Brush the baked biscuits with melted butter and enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep all ingredients cold for flakiest texture.
